Paul George

Paul George injured his leg late in the game as the Clippers fail to score in final possession during the 101-100 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

He averaged 28.3 points, six rebounds and five assists in his previous seven games entering Tuesday, a run that coincided with a 5-2 record. George was driven out of the arena on the back of a cart, his right leg extended. George fell to the court and stayed there for minutes as teammates surrounded him while medical staffers knelt over him.

George had 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes played. The Thunder beat the Clippers 101-100.
